This list of tallest buildings in Europe ranks skyscrapers in Europe by height. For decades, only a few major cities such as Frankfurt, London, Paris, Istanbul, Warsaw and Moscow, contained skyscrapers. In recent years, however, construction has spread to many other cities on the continent, including Ankara, Barcelona, Brussels, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Naples, Rotterdam, Valencia and others. Currently, several European cities have more than 10 skyscrapers above 100 metres (330 ft): Moscow, Istanbul (>100 each), Paris (72), London (65), Frankfurt (30), Benidorm (26), Warsaw (24), Rotterdam (20), Milan (18), Madrid (15), Kiev (15), Barcelona (14), Berlin (13), Naples (10).

Tallest European skyscrapers
This lists ranks skyscrapers in Europe that stand at least 140 metres (459 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. This list includes buildings under construction that have already been topped out.

Projects under construction
This lists buildings that are under construction in Europe and are planned to rise at least 140 metres (459 ft).
Tallest European skyscrapers by pinnacle height
Some skyscraper enthusiasts prefer this measurement, claiming that the extensions that can or cannot be deemed "architectural" are subjective. However, many non-architectural extensions (such as radio antennas) are easily added and removed from tall buildings without significantly changing the style and design of the building, which is seen as a significant part of the value of these buildings. The list includes all skyscrapers of at least 200 metres (656 ft) tall. However, the height data is subject to fluctuations due to simple changing of mast extensions.
Cities with buildings >150m
List measures buildings by roof height only (excluding spires and antennas).
Cities with buildings >150m (under construction only)
